@tsamvelyan curve was -12

Unless I had a faulty test, the perfume one has to be the real one since it was my only RC section
-
ah, that really makes the question a lot easier. This was the question that separated me from breaking my target score grrr
-
Thanks Socal and Jdawg for the explanations. I understand now where the substitution is happening. Jdawg's explanation made it especially clear. I feel like given game time situations in under a wide range of conditions I would not have interpreted …

Understanding the stimulus was much less the issue than understanding the answer choice here. Quoting answer choice (C): "... the risk of fatal injury to the motorcyclist thus incurred is acceptable ..." It seems to me the answer choice is talking a…
-
So (risk is acceptable) -> (activity that poses that risk is acceptable)? I don't know if we can accept that, especially since the stimulus doesn't state it directly. There are probably a lot of additional factors that must be considered before a…
-
Thanks for the reply. My problem with (C) is that it states the RISK itself is acceptable while the stimulus only states whether the ACTIVITY that poses that risk is acceptable. I had trouble picking (A) precisely for the reason you mentioned but I …

Thanks for all the detailed responses. What got me on this problem was Powerscore LR bible states "most strongly supports" as a way the author words a "must be true" question stem. This really restricted my interpretations of the answer choices. I d…
-
Thanks for the reply! Could you elaborate a little more? I interpreted the clause that supported (C) as rather saying that the people who are allergic to cats aren't allergic to the same proteins and therefore a cat may or may not cause an allergic …

anyone?

I'm planning on taking the December LSAT but if you're open to meeting up, just shoot me a message. I live out in Tysons Corner but am free to meet up in NoVA or DC on the weekends.
-
What I found the hardest about LR is often its confusing arrangement of words. What helped me improve significantly was writing down the stimulus, my answer choice and the correct answer choice of every problem I've had issues with by hand several t…
-
ah i see my mistake now. Thanks!
-
Hey, I might be a little late to the party but I live right at Tyson's Corner. I took the LSAT last Dec but cancelled and I put everything off for a year. I'm getting back into it now and plan on writing the Dec one again. I average 173-175 and my s…
-
I see my error now. Thanks!
-
Hey thanks for the response! I realize my logical fault is confusing trying to strengthen a relation with trying to prove it.
-
Thanks all for the detailed responses @NoRestForTheWicked, I probably should clarify the if and only if signals a definition here and not A B relationship. I'm saying "A causes B" if and only if three conditions are satisfied. You mention that i…
-
I use to really struggle with concentration as well. I started forcing myself to read, almost anything really, for at least an hour a day and that dramatically improved my stamina. Also, be cognizant of what you eat. Diets high in fat tend to dampen…

There's something I started doing for precisely those LR questions where I'm gambling between two answer choices and I think it has helped me develop an intuition. I write down these questions---stimulus, question stem, both answer choices---by hand…

Hi everyone, coming back from a 3 month break on studying and just getting back into it (planning on writing the Dec test). I'm getting 172-174 on most of my PTs (goal is 175+) and finding it hard to get motivated again by myself. I'm in the DC area…
-
I have this inkling the longer the question is, stimulus and questions combined (Parallel Reasoning, Parallel Flaw both easy and hard ones), the probability the answer is A/B goes up and D/E goes down. This is just cause I think the LSAT has a built…
-
I see flaw questions as the exact same as assumption questions. I ask myself "what do I need to assume to make this argument work." Then I look for the answer choice that basically says that assumption can't be made.
-
For unless, "A will occur unless B occurs", I think of it as B is necessary for stopping A (or B is necessary for not A). That would be (not) A -> B ex. Spurs will sweep unless Heats wins a game. In other words, Heats must win a game to stop Spu…
-
ahh I've gotten at least one wrong on every law passage. I probably should just take the hint.
-
Addressing PrepTest 9, Section 2, Question #23: I'm going to make an assumption here that might be faulty but I think based on the stimulus, should be safe to make. a and b are disjoint and x and y are disjoint. That is a not b and x not y. If yo…
-
Addressing PrepTest 7, S4 Q12: The stimulus suggests that drawing prime-time coverage and comments from officials are useful consequences of a controversial advertising campaign. Indeed, it doesn't state those are the only consequences. However, …
-
Again, thanks for such a detailed response. I really appreciate you taking the time JY. Could you give the formula for an argument where one of the conditions is necessary but not sufficient? Would it be something like {A (and) (A->B) (and) (B-&…
-
Wow! Thanks for such a detailed response. I didn't expect it given you've already made a video. That was really helpful. I realize now I subtly made the assumption P-->P' for Glen and couldn't break from it. I guess it also comes down to the fact…
